The information presented in this document is a supplement to the Iridium
OpenPort Terminal User Manual. The information provided describes changed
nomenclature, Port Forwarding an enhanced feature offered in the latest
software release and the specifications of the system. All other information,
such as safety, overall use and certifications can be found in the OpenPort
Terminal User Manual.
The intent of this supplement is to provide information not yet incorporated
into the OpenPort Terminal User Manual. It is temporary in nature and will be
obsolete once incorporated into the OpenPort Terminal User Manual.
Note
The nomenclature referring to telephone handsets has changed from
“Captains”, “Normal” and “Crew” to “Standard” and “Crew”. Please replace
the words “Captain” and “Normal” with “Standard” throughout the
manual. A “Standard” line can be provisioned to have any or all of the
features previously offered on the “Captains” or “Normal” lines so all the
functionality remains unchanged. This change will also be reflected in the
“Status” page displays.

Iridium OpenPort Terminal I Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is taking a port on the outside of the OpenPort, such
as port 80 (typically used for web servers) and passing it to another
machine on the internal network, on the same port (80).
Port redirection is taking a port on the outside, i.e. 80, and passing it
to another machine on the internal network, but on a different port,
i.e. 8080.
Before beginning the user will need to know what port they wish to
forward from outside the Iridium OpenPort, to the inner network,
and whether or not they need to ‘redirect’ the port as well.
They will also need to know if the data will be TCP or UDP.
1. Click ‘Add Rule’. An administration page will open (Fig. 2)

2. Enter / Select the following:
• The external port number to forward to the inside.
• The internal port number which will be receiving the data. Note: If you are redirecting as well, this number will be different than
the external port number.
• The IP address of the computer which is receiving the data. Note: This
will need to be on the same subnet as the OpenPort ISU.
• The protocol for the data: TCP or UDP.
